Fargesia Scabrida (Bamboo). Prized for its unique colorful display and elegant, airy habit. New shoots emerge from orange sheaths. Blue and purple stems mature to olive green holding slender dark green leaves. Sold as a giant rooted plug (different than our other plants), this will take at least 3 years to reach mature size, but well worth the wait!

Fargesias form new canes in late summer that don't develop leaves until the following spring - do not cut these back, as they are important to the plant's growth. Propagation in mid-spring is easy, as long as the transplants stay continually moist until established.
